Recipe chocolate marshmallows:

Before preparing chocolate marshmallows, you should prepare two small bowls: in one you will dissolve gelatin in a water bath, in the second you will dissolve chocolate. Therefore, in addition to bowls, you need to prepare a ladle or a small saucepan for a water bath. Pour water into it and heat it on fire. Pour gelatin with drinking purified water and leave to swell for 3-5 minutes.

Add sugar to the swollen gelatin.

Place the container with the sugar-gelatin mixture in a warm water bath. Stir until the gelatin granules and sugar crystals dissolve. Under no circumstances should you heat gelatin to high temperatures, otherwise it may lose its gelling properties and the marshmallow will not harden!

When the gelatin and sugar dissolve, remove the first bowl from the water bath and replace it with a second bowl of chocolate. Stirring with a spoon or wooden stick, melt the chocolate without heating it above 60 degrees. Leave both bowls to cool - the mixed masses should be slightly warm.

Then vigorously whisk the gelatin mass until bubbles appear.

Gradually, one tablespoon at a time, add warm melted chocolate to the mixture.

Pour honey into the chocolate mass (if it is candied, melt it in the same way as chocolate - in a warm water bath and cool). While introducing the honey, continue to work intensively with the whisk.

After all the ingredients are mixed, you can turn to household kitchen appliances for help, since now the whole mixture will need to be thoroughly beaten with a blender or mixer for 7-10 minutes. When the mass is filled with air bubbles that will remain inside due to the action of gelatin, you can stop beating.

Pour the chocolate mixture into a mold or pour into special molds and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.

When the marshmallow mixture has hardened, use a sharp knife to cut it into squares.

And roll in cocoa powder on all sides.

Wonderful chocolate marshmallows are ready!

What products are apple marshmallows made from:

1. Ripe apples – 4-5 pcs (for preparing 250 ml of puree)
2. Sugar – 725 g (for puree 250 g, for syrup – 450-475 g)
3. White of one egg

7. Chocolate – 1 bar

How to make delicious marshmallows from apples in chocolate glaze, recipe with photos step by step:

1. Before you start preparing the puree, you need to soak the agar-agar (literally cover it with water in a vessel for a few centimeters).

2. To pre-soften the apples and acquire a particularly delicate taste, they need to be baked in the oven. Then peel off the skin, seeds and grind to a smooth puree. The most convenient way is to use a blender.

3. Add 250 g of sugar and vanilla sugar to the puree. Give it some time.

4. The prepared agar-agar (step 1) must be completely dissolved. To do this, the vessel in which it was soaked must be put on fire and heated, but not boiled. Add another 475 g of sugar, mix thoroughly. Continue cooking the resulting syrup over low heat until a “sugar web” stretches out when stirring (proper caramelization of sugar). It is recommended to use a wooden spatula. Now the syrup needs to cool (do not put it in the refrigerator, as agar-agar tends to harden).

5. Back to applesauce. After adding half the protein to the puree, you need to beat the resulting mixture until it lightens. After adding the remaining protein, continue beating until the mixture becomes fluffy.

7. Having received a fluffy, white mass, it should be immediately transferred to a pastry bag. Then you need to carefully and quickly form the marshmallows onto a baking sheet (or other flat surface), which is covered with parchment.

The recipe specifies the amount of ingredients that will make a lot of marshmallows, so to prevent unwanted hardening of the apple mass, parchment, a baking sheet and a pastry bag must be prepared in advance.

8. The process of drying the finished marshmallows takes at least a day without refrigeration.

9. Sprinkle the finished apple marshmallow with powdered sugar and glaze it with chocolate.

How to make chocolate covered marshmallows at home:

I described in detail how to make homemade marshmallows in a previous article, which can be viewed at this link.

In short, you need to bake apples, make puree from the pulp of baked apples, mix it with vanilla and a glass (250g) of regular sugar, then beat with half an egg white.

Soak the gelatin in water for half an hour, then heat over low heat until it boils, add the rest of the sugar and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes at a gentle boil. While the syrup has cooled slightly, add the second half of the egg white to the applesauce and beat until fluffy and white.

Now slowly pour hot syrup into the whipped mass, whisking all the time, until the mixer whisks begin to leave marks that do not immediately melt. Fill a pastry bag with marshmallow mixture and place the marshmallows on oiled confectionery parchment 3-4 cm apart. And leave to dry for 24 hours.
After a day, the marshmallow hardens, but inside it still remains viscous. But after two days it dries out and becomes light and almost dry, like meringue. It turns out to be a lot, we ate half of it like this, and I decided to make the rest of the marshmallows in chocolate.

Melt the chocolate in a water bath, as for glazed cheese curds - after breaking the bars into pieces, add milk and heat, stirring.

When the chocolate pieces have completely melted, dip the marshmallows into the chocolate one at a time, dip the marshmallows into the glaze using a spoon, then take them out, wait for the excess glaze to drain, and place them on parchment.

Place the chocolate marshmallows in the refrigerator until the chocolate layer hardens completely.

And then we take out one for each of us and feast on it!
